I have seen plenty used but not in that application. Was that factory? If so what brand?

Does that cable actually need the ferrite ring to minimise / negate RFI?

It seems that the DV required the test of time...

lol so true. I got this thing a month ago. Did 10 days on another tube before giving up. Which is to say it is good to finally be listening to it

Hardy har. Also it’s funny because it’s probably true.

All I had was Highway 63 coming out of Kirksville. 2-lane (at least back then) and no way to get anywhere fast.

Kirksville? Man, I was offered a free ride to Northeast Mo State but had to turn it down because... well, because I visited Kirksville.

LOL! Kirksville is a nice place to be from.

resistors and wire.. .in da mail.. see if I can start a fire here soon.. (Heater MOd)

Okay, ferrite magnet on the headphone cable specifically.. yay or nay?

I will go with: “why”

Looks cool?

So you’re a no. Haha

did a quick Google and see that most use these on USB cables connected to DAC to minimize high frequency noise "hiss" Interesting

I tried some of these a good while back on some AC cords and RCA interconnects. On the power cords, despite my best efforts I couldn't tell any difference regardless of the cord or positioning. I see these built-in to a lot of SMPS cords (on the DC end), so perhaps there is some benefit with a DC signal (or maybe just SMPS-converted DC). On the interconnects, I thought I heard some difference depending on the cable, but it was pretty minor and if anything it wasn't an improvement -- seemed to take some sparkle and air out of the treble. A lot could be dependent on the geometry of the wire lay, and possibly the external noise level in the environment (RFI, EMI, etc). Certainly doesn't hurt anything to try them on the HP cable though.
